Peter Green was the founder member of Fleetwood Mac, along with Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Jeremy Spencer. Green (as seems to befit the Fleetwood Mac culture ) was something of a troubled soul, and after two or three immensely successful years, basically just quit, being unable to handle the pressures of fame. Green had a fabulous tone and touch. Moore eventually recorded the album ‘Blues for Greeny’ as a tribute to Green’s legacy.

Someone once stated that Peter Green ‘came through like the wind and left whispers of greatness in his path’.

There’s no doubt that Gary Moore has a legacy as one of the finest guitarists this island has ever produced. A Belfast boy who truly learned his trade on the boards and deserves the many plaudits he receives as a consumate musician.

My only concern with Gary Moore is that I have always felt he overplays and too often drowns out his backing musicians forsaking a lightness of touch and sublety for noise and power.

However this version of ‘Since I Met You Baby’ with BB King exemplifies the talents of both – a real hot sweaty gig in the best sense of the word. And Moore is on fire in this vid clip. Catch the riff he plays at 2.23.
